European-infused cuisine made to share and great for celebrations
The Saros menu brings together Mediterranean inspiration with seasonal local produce. It is built for sharing and celebrating in a relaxed yet refined way.
You will find generous small plates, house-made pastas and signature mains like slow-roasted lamb shoulder or grain-fed eye fillet. Seafood and plant-based options are also available, all cooked fresh and designed to bring people together around the table.
For something truly classic, nothing says Father’s Day quite like a perfectly cooked steak. Saros proudly serves premium Riverine steaks. They are tender, full of flavour and made for those who appreciate the simple satisfaction of a great cut of beef.
Whiskies, Beers and More
Saros is known for its quality drink selection, including a strong lineup of premium whisky and craft beer. Names like Lagavulin 16 Year Old and Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year are available for those who appreciate a proper pour. The rotating beer taps and curated bottle list feature both local and regional brews that pair perfectly with the menu.
If Dad prefers wine or a cocktail, there is plenty of choice on the drinks list, and the staff are always happy to recommend something memorable.
